Terraria is an action-packed sand-box adventure that enables players to dig, fight, explore and build in a world they craft themselves. The original PC game, published by Re-Logic, has become an indie phenomenon since launching May 2011, achieving huge sales success and garnering multiple award wins. 505 Games have since brought Terraria to a wider audience across console platforms as well as iOS and Android devices to high acclaim.

Terraria is available for console on Xbox Live, PlayStation®Network and PlayStation®Vita, and was recently released in stores across Europe as part of the Xbox Classic Hits range for Xbox 360.

“We’re delighted to be bringing this massive content update to console, and in being able to open up a whole new world of possibilities to Terrarians from today,” said Richard Gittins, Senior Brand Manager at 505 Games. “The passion expressed by Terraria’s community has fueled our ambitions to do justice to the original PC content, and having delivered this update there really has never been a better time to get into Terraria and discover its delights for yourself. We look forward to bringing additional content to existing Terrarians as well as broadening out to new audiences throughout 2014 and beyond.”
